IvonKohler has a great style in general (if you like the hair, click on through to her IAM page), but I quite like her distinctive elf ear pointing by Howie, who does a fairly heavy fold in his technique. In this photo the work is about five months old.

I love the shape and the pointy-ness. But I wonder if the fold effects her hearing much?

I recall there’s a study out there where study volunteers wore drop-in prosthetics that changed the shape of the out ear. After a short period, their hearing was back to normal. This is pretty much what I experienced with my ear pointing in May 2009.
The biggest downside to extreme ear pointing and hearing? Ear buds are out of the question. I usually use a pair of inexpensive cans with ample padding. This bit of comfort also increases the quality of the music since, as low end audiophile gear, the frequency responses in the bass tend to be better. So, in a sense, ear pointing improved my music listening experience indirectly.
